Yesterday, I was installing ADT for Eclipse. It all went well, until I clicked Check for Updates. After Eclipse rebooted, all the preferences are gone, I can't create new project, ADTs are gone. But when I try to download ADT from the Install New Software option, it says that I've installed it.
I've also reinstall Eclipse and same thing still occurs.
What can I do to fix this? I do not know what causes this whether it is ADT or Eclipse itself, because I can't even create new project for C++ or even Java.
I have Eclipse Indigo.
EDIT: I'm using Ubuntu 12.04
After installing ADT plugin go to windows > Android SDK Manager, after loading the packages click on install button, after installation is complete then check your problem is solve.
I'm trying to add the Android ADT plug-in into eclipse. It downloads and installs fine, there are no errors, but the changes don't show up when I restart eclipse. I'm using Juno but I have tried this on Indigo as well and got the same problem. I am working on windows 7, 64 bit.The eclipse versions are 32 bit.
I've tried running as administrator, moving the folder to c:/eclipse..., running from the command line with eclipse -clean. I've tried new installs multiple times.
In help - about eclipse - Installation Details - Installed Software, Android Development Tools shows up. When I go to windows - preferences, android doesn't show up on the left. I can see the com.android.ide.eclipse.adt_20.0.2.v201207191942-407447 file in the plug-in folder along with the other ones.
To install Eclipse, all I did was download the zip, open with windows explorer, and move the eclipse folder into the desktop. The file structure is unchanged.
I also tried deleting .eclipse and.android folders in the c:/users.
And I tried downloading the zip file to my desktop and installing software with the archive button. No luck.
Just wondering, do you need the Android sdk to be installed before the ADT?
Hoping its something simple. Thanks for your help.
I use Win7 64 bit as well, Eclipse (indigo and Juno) 32bit and ADT and working ok.
I am using Eclipse for Java Developers
On Installed Software you should see for the ADT: (make sure you installed all when Installing new software) You need all items that are shown except the NDK except if plan to code in C++;
Mine shows this on Installed Software:
Android DDMS
Android Development Tools
Android hierarchy Viewer
Android Traceview
Also remember you need the android SDK for development which is a separate installer.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I'm not sure what the problem was but I installed 64 bit Juno and 64 bit Java JDK. I removed older jdk's which may have been part of the problem. For whatever reason, it's working now. Thanks.
I'm developing an android app with the eclipse as an IDE. My eclipse version is 3.5.2. Now I want to convert the android app to latest version which is for android 4.1. In my eclipse it displays up to only 4.0. So I need update.
When I click the help->check for new software in eclipse. Then it displays some android new components. If I click to install means, then it shows an message requires "eclipse 3.6.2"
I cannot find a way to update the eclipse to 3.6.2. Because if I newly install another eclipse means I want to totally change my sdk path,more changes,etc
So I need to update eclipse 3.6.2 without deleting, modifying the content of already had android apps.
So please all give your ideas.
You have to update android sdk from android manager not eclipse
Get the Eclipse version Indigo (3.7)
To upgrade from Galileo(3.5) or Helios(3.6) to Indigo (3.7), you first need to add the Indigo software repository as follows:
1. Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites
2. Click 'Add'
3. Enter http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
4. Click 'Ok'
Now to upgrade installed software, do the following:
1. Help > Check for Updates
2. If updates are found, proceed through the install wizard and click
Finish at the end
3. f you are upgrading the platform itself, when you are prompted to
restart it is strongly recommended to do so. A restart may not be
required when updating other features, but always select to restart
if you are unsure
.
im not able to upgrade my eclipse.So i new downloaded the eclipse pulsar and installed it with MTJ (mobile tools for java in eclipse).
Now its working fine.
i just change my program location.
Thanks for all 4 giving ur ideas.
I have installed Eclipse on my laptop - it seems to be the Indigo version. The I tried to Install new software. I entered the https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse url into the Work With box. After pending resolved itself I then pressed next and now have a view of the items and an error saying that a shared profile (maven) is missing. I am stumped as to what to do next!!
The Android SDK works fine with Indigo, and providing you started from a clean Indigo installation, the update site you mentioned should work just fine.
I would suggest downloading a fresh copy of Indigo, hold off installing any other plugins and trying again with that update site. Works fine on my windows 7 machine.
(it's also a good practice not to re-use existing eclipse installations for Android development. IMHO its better to setup a dedicated eclipse installation for it to ensure that other plugins / dependencies mess up the install).
I had the same problem.
Instead of just picking some other versions od ADK and hoping the best, I recommend to take the whole Eclipse + Android set from Google. With this you will get co-working peaces of your IDE. It's not very techy way solve this problem- but it WORKS! Just remember to uninstall your old Eclipse first.
So from here you will get the whole package:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
""With a single download, the Eclipse ADT bundle includes everything you need to begin developing apps:
-Eclipse + ADT plugin
-Android SDK Tools
-Android Platform-tools
-A version of the Android platform
-A version of the Android system image for the emulator""
I'm installing the Android SDK on a fresh installation of Fedora 14 (Linux). I installed eclipse, and ran the tools/android sdk tool to install all the Eclipse components for the SDK. I was able to get DDMS to install when selecting it by itself.
And for the last component - the Android developer tools, I'm getting the ugly error message pasted below.
Now I'm Stuck in Eclipse dependency hell.
I've searched through the available packages in Fedora and I can't find the one that has the files necessary to satisfy this Eclipse dependency. Can anybody please translate what it is that Eclipse is asking for and what Fedora package it lives in?
The ugly error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Android Development Tools 0.9.9.v201009221407-60953 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 0.9.9.v201009221407-60953)
Missing requirement: Android Development Tools 0.9.9.v201009221407-60953 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 0.9.9.v201009221407-60953) requires 'org.eclipse.wst.sse.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
I've just encountered exactly the same problem in Eclipse 3.6 (Helios). After plenty of Googling I came across this link:
http://code.google.com/intl/es/eclipse/docs/faq.html#wstinstallerror
During installation, there's an error
about requiring
org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui. How do I fix
that?
The Google Plugin for Eclipse depends
on other specific Eclipse components,
such as WST. Your installation of
Eclipse may not yet include all of
them, but they can be easily installed
by following these instructions.
Eclipse 3.6 (Helios)
Select Help > Install New Software...
Click the link for Available Software Sites.
Ensure there is an update site named Helios. If this is not present,
click Add... and enter
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios
for the Location.
Now go through the installation steps; Eclipse should download and
install the plugin's dependencies.
(There are examples in that page for 3.5 (Galileo), 3.4 (Ganymede) & 3.3 (Europa) for anyone with different versions)
The exact same steps work for 3.7 (Indigo) as well.
Just use http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo for the location.
Juno: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
Kepler: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler
Note: Step four is not necessary. Only steps one to three are necessary.
For Eclipse 3.7 or Indigo the winning URL is
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
And for 3.8 it is
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
I encountered the same problem in eclipse 3.7 indigo
and I have done the folowing:
help->install new software
click on "available software sites"
select all entries (CTRL-A) and remove them
add new entry at location http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/
now add again the ADT location http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
If you're downloaded and installed a Classic version of eclipse you are missing the essential Java Development Tools required by the Android SDK etc
I found that installing the Eclipse Java Development Tools & Java EE Tools solved this problem for me in Eclipse 3.7.
It seems obvious to many Java Developers but to those new to the IDE and JAVA etc it's important to note that they don't installed come with the "classic" version of Eclipse.
Adding the link to the Helios repo http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios wasn't enough.
In windows 7
Run the eclipse as administrator
goto Windows->Preferences->Instal/update->check "all version of available softwares" and apply--> ok
goto Help->Install new software-> add-->put the URL add or ADT zip file -->ok
thats all and its working....
I was also browsing these answers,but I couldn't get any answer to my problem.But through hit and trial I found the following solution.
First of all update your eclipse by going on Help-> Check for updates .Then, go to Install New Software and give adt location(local or url),then do check Contact all update sited during install to find required software and it would do the rest.
I am not sure whether this solution works well for other,but it worked for me and hope it works for some troubled developer out there
And for the Juno-version:
You just have to add it - not to install anything.
I found that removing ~/.eclipse solved this issue for me on the stock Ubuntu eclipse
For me, running win 7 64, eclipse 3.7.1 64, It was simply to run eclipse as admin, go through the listed steps.
Using Ubuntu 11.10 I was able to fix that issue by reinstalling Eclipse (in my case 3.7) as follows:
sudo apt-get purge eclipse
sudo apt-get install eclipse.*
From there on installing the Android SDK just worked fine.
In my case, I got the above error because the Indigo and "Eclipse Project Updates" items in the "Available Software Sites" pane were disabled.
All I had to do was toggle them to the enabled state and my ADT Plugin installation went like a breeze (as far as eclipse installations go, I guess)
I had this problem as well.
Running Windows 7 (64 bit), Eclipse Indigo. Tried all the different suggestions, but finally, simply unchecking Contact all update sites during install to find required software (running Eclipse as Admin, although I don't think this was important) got everything working fine. I hope this helps someone.
Install Google Plugin for Eclipse corresponding to your version.
for 3.6 helios link is http://code.google.com/intl/es/eclipse/docs/install-eclipse-3.6.html
for offline version http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-from-zip.html
hope it will solve mine problem as well as yours.
I got a similar error in Windows Vista 32-bit when using Eclipse Classic 3.7.2 package, but it worked well after I downloaded and used Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers.
straight steps to get your ADT plugin working
Download eclipse helios EE IDE not the classic version
After unzip directly go to Checks for Update from help menu
After it get updated download ADT plugin offline version from ADROID site
Now go to Help again -> Install New software -> add -> click on archive then point to your download ADT ADT-17.0.0.zip. Give any name in name field say ADT. click ok
now from work with drop down select the adt plugin name which you given
now go ahead with installation. enjoy :)
What I did (Helios):
1) Go to Help -> Install New Software...
2) Select or add new location http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/helios/
3) Check WTP of latest version checkbox and press next
4) Most probably u will get into 'additional dependecies required' situation, but that new screen will show u which packages have wst in their names, u should procede with installation of that *wst* packages
5) U didn't get 4th point stuff. In that case u have required wst packages installed.
Enjoy. Or not... :)

For those using eclipse 3.7
add the following after the http:// prompt download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
Then click on "help" menu and click "check for updates
To help remove some of the guess and check on which dependencies are needed.
After a fresh Ubuntu install I needed the following.
Error 1:
***Missing requirement: Android Development Tools 0.9.6.v201002051504-24846 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 0.9.6.v201002051504-24846) requires ***'org.eclipse.gef 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Update site:
GEF and Draw2d Plugin from http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/
Error 2:
Missing requirement: Android Development Tools 0.9.9.v201009221407-60953 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 0.9.9.v201009221407-60953) requires 'org.eclipse.wst.sse.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Update site:
Eclipse XML Editors and Tool from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
Use
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ instead of https
Update for Fedora 16
Note that this is now provided by a package, so the recommended Thing To Do is
pkcon install eclipse-wtp-sourceediting
This appears to be a one-shot “magic bullet” to get everything that Android's ADK plug-in requires on Fedora 16 (at least).
None of the existing answers worked for me. Having all the correct update sites in "available sites" was not enough to tell Eclipse how to find its dependencies.
Using Fedora 14 and Eclipse Indigo 3.7.1, I had to follow these steps to make the installation working:
Check and install "Linux Tools" from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
Check and install "Linux Tools" from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/201109230900
After restarting Eclipse, I was able to finaly install the Android SDK.
During installation, there's an error about requiring
org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui. How do I fix that?

//Try to install the extension "eclipse plugin development environment"
Use http instead of https:// and it will solve this problem.
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
none of above worked for me. This did:
Remove Eclipse (I think this is discussed above).
Get THIS eclipse. (The others don't have java).
This eclipse has java in it, the apt-get one doesn't
Follow these stepsThis guy nailed it. It shouldn't be this hard, but it's not that bad...
After that, I was able to bring back my Android stuff via the normal "Install new Software",
I ran into this issue to. What i did was simply extract the eclipse package using 7-zip instead of the inbuilt windows extractor.
Add this for eclipse juno
I was able to install ADT plugin after this on ubuntu 12.04

Google is your friend. Make sure you use the right version of Eclipse, and you may have to run Eclipse as root when installing.
The issue is that the versions of Eclipse that ship with Linux distributions are usually very generic in their configuration. It is unlikely that you will find the right package through your package manager, you want to use Eclipse's mechanism.
Downloading SDK tools and Installing the ADT bundle posed a problem for me on Windows and Linux.
After trying it in every way possible on both OS's even with my college lecturer with me for the Windows install, we couldn't get it working.
Both times the only way I got it working was by installing the Android ADT Bundle that includes Eclipse & SDK tools & ADT Plugin all in one.
apt-get remove eclipse-jdt and just download the bundle, it just works. :)
It's not from a repo but it works.
